Republicans shut down the House Russia investigation and Trump is trying to do the same with Mueller. Democrats and Republicans need to speak out now, before the crisis, and commit to passage of an independent counsel law to protect Mueller’s work.https://t.co/rDWzz2LhQ6

Trump’s theory that Comey is out to get him is complicated by the fact that Comey is the person most responsible for getting Trump elected by raising the prospect of “new emails” days before the election while keeping the Trump/Russia investigation secret

Where we’ve evolved to: Last March, Comey was afraid if agents working Russia investigation knew what Trump thought then it would bias them. (So he kept memo on Trump asking him to end Flynn investigation secret). Today, Trump and his lawyer just openly attack the investigators.

"The @FEC has opened a preliminary investigation in whether the @NRA took illegal contributions from Russian organizations that were meant to benefit @RealDonaldTrump. The NRA will likely have to turn over internal documents as part of the investigation. https://t.co/1sAQGOBMJb

.@seanhannity , you do know, right, that the Russia investigation was *not* triggered by the Steele memos? Even the Nunes memo notes that. Like Trump, you shoud read pp. 178-9 of "Russian Roulette." It's just two paragraphs. Won't take long at all. I promise. https://t.co/Chp0Tvdtog

“Trump and his enablers are engaged in a systematic effort to undermine the Russia investigation — including Robert Mueller’s review of whether Trump obstructed it." - @NormEisenhttps://t.co/dId7C4HcAy

Wonderful. Trump is bringing a lawyer just to attack Mueller. "Mr. diGenova has endorsed the notion that a secretive group of F.B.I. agents concocted the Russia investigation as a way to keep Mr. Trump from becoming president." https://t.co/dr53aRNNNL

The FEC is investigating the NRA for taking illegal contributions from Russian organizations that were meant to benefit @RealDonaldTrump. The NRA met with the Russian Gov’t during the 2016 campaign & spent over $31 million in support of Trump. #TrumpRussiahttps://t.co/txGwG5Zogo
